Accomplishments
During the BALANCED Project strategic planning meetings in September 2011, key personnel agreed to focus the Year 4 KM activities on our priority countries and to refine our outreach
target audiences to include NGOs, donors and other PHE community stakeholders. During this reporting period, the Project staff working on KM diligently promoted PHE knowledge,
information, and successes coming out of the broad PHE community of practice. However, BALANCED KM efforts overall—while still a key component of the Project—have been
reduced in Years 4 and 5 in response to recommendations from the mid-term evaluation and the Project’s mid-course strategy.
2.1 Identify, document, and synthesize knowledge
The BALANCED team drafted andor finalized and disseminated multiple training guides, technical reports and PHE champion stories this reporting period, with specifics on each as
outlined below.
• One new technical report—findings of the baseline Behavior Monitoring Survey BMS
on FPRH and coastal resources management behaviors conducted in select BALANCED-Philippines sites—was finalized and will be disseminated widely in the
next reporting period
• One previously finalized technical report, “Population, Health and Environment
Situational Analysis for the Saadani National Park Area, Tanzania,” was submitted to and accepted by the peer-reviewed Ocean and Coastal Management Journal. Edits based on
review comments are underway and availability of the report will be announced upon publication of the journal issue.
• One new PHE training guide was finalized and made accessible to the public:
− “Population, Health and Environment PHE Community-based Distribution and
Peer Education System: Train-the-Trainer Guide for Training PHE Community- based Distributors and PHE Adult Peer Educators” October 2011
• One additional training guide—“Population, Health and Environment PHE
Community-based Distribution and Peer Education System: A Guide for Training PHE Peer Educators”—was completed but was not finalized made 508-compliant prior to the
end of this reporting period. It will be posted to the PHE Toolkit and disseminated to the public in the next reporting period, and thus counted in the next reporting period’s PMP.
• Three new champion stories—Zo Zatovonirina of Madagascar August 2011; Pascal
Gakwaya Kalisa of Rwanda October 2011; and Jeanne Nyirakamana of Rwanda November 2011—were written and disseminated. Note: two additional champion
18 stories—one from the Philippines and one from Belize—were drafted and are in final
stages of approval for dissemination next reporting period. •
Several other PHE tools are still under development and will be finalized in the next reporting period. These include the “Population, Health and Environment PHE
Community-based Distribution and Peer Education System: A Guide for Training Community-based Distributors”, “Reference Guide for PHE CBDs and PEs,” “How to
Develop Integrated PHE Messages and IEC Materials Curriculum” and the “Designing for Behavior Change DBC for PHE Projects guide.”
• During this period, and on a case-by-case basis, we engaged BALANCED Advisory
Committee members in dialogue about Project activities. Several of these committee members, along with other experts in the PHE community, joined the September 14,
2011 BALANCED meeting to vet the Project’s proposed mid-course strategic planning initiatives. BALANCED adopted several of the suggestions regarding new or refined
activities for the remainder of Year 4. We also collaborated with Advisory Committee members from the Population Reference Bureau PRB and the Woodrow Wilson Center
WWC on the design and implementation of the PHE panel at the November 2011 International Family Planning Conference in Dakar, Senegal.
